Chapter 1422 I will definitely find out about this
Early the next morning, the officials of Taiji Hall were waiting for Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling to preside over the court meeting.
But after waiting and waiting, they didn't see the two of them appear.
It was the morning of the court meeting, and there was no sign of anyone until after midnight.
All the officials could not help but speculate.
"Changsun Shangshu, why don't you see Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang coming today?"
"Will the meeting continue?" An official looked at Changsun Wuji, who was standing in front of him, and asked with a frown.
How could Changsun Wuji know why Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were missing?
He turned his attention to Wei Shuyu and Fang Yizhi, who worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"What happened to Prime Minister Fang and Prime Minister Wei yesterday? Why didn't you come to court today?" Changsun Wuji looked at Wei Shuyu and Fang Yizhi.
"Reporting to the eldest grandson, Shangshu, my father went home yesterday evening, changed his clothes, and said that Jiang Siye of the Imperial Academy invited him and the prime minister to a banquet at Wangyou Restaurant."
"He didn't come back this morning either."
"I thought my father and the prime minister were staying at Wangyou Restaurant." Wei Shuyu and Changsun Wuji said.
Changsun Wuji frowned. Even if Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling stayed at Wangyou Restaurant, they shouldn't miss today's court meeting.
Such an unreliable move is not like the style of Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling.
"Immediately send someone to Wangyou Restaurant and invite the Prime Minister and Prime Minister Wei to come over." Changsun Wuji said to the guards in Taiji Hall.
The guards ran out to invite Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling.
"how so?"
"This is very strange. Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang both missed today's court meeting?"
"I didn't see Jiang Siye from the Imperial College either."
"Ever since Chu Suiliang disappeared, the whole court has been in panic. Don't let anything happen again."
"I don't know where Chu Suiliang went. There is no news at all for so long."
The officials were talking a lot.
The late arrival of Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling reminded them of the missing Chu Suiliang, the Imperial Academy's wine sacrificer.
Changsun Wuji frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Everyone, please be a little more patient. Perhaps Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang were tired and overslept at the Wangyou Restaurant."
"At this time, let's eat some meat buns to cushion our stomachs." Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, suddenly said.
After waiting for two hours, the officials were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs.
At this moment, when I smell the fragrant meat buns, my mouth is already watering.
"These are the buns that have just come out of the steamer at Wangyou Bun Shop. I saw that it was getting late, so I asked them to deliver them." Li Xiaogong and the officials said again.
“The buns at Wangyou Bun Shop are outstanding, and the taste is absolutely unparalleled.”
"I would like to thank the King of Hejian very much today, otherwise we would have to wait here hungry."
"That's right, King Renyi of Hejian, we can't thank you enough."
The officials ate the meat buns in their hands and kept flattering Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong just smiled and stood aside quietly waiting.
After the officials ate for a while, everyone felt much better.
Then I saw the sent guards running back from outside.
Behind him was a man in the uniform of an imperial eunuch.
If you look closely, you will see that it is Jiang Siye from the Imperial College.
"I would like to report to you sirs that Wangyou Restaurant only found Jiang Siye, the Imperial Academy Master. The manager of the restaurant said that yesterday Jiang Siye sent Prime Minister Wei and Fang Xiang to each family's sedan chair, and then returned to the restaurant to rest."
"Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang are not resting at Wangyou Restaurant." The guards, Changsun Wuji and other officials said.
"Didn't you rest at Wangyou Restaurant?"
"Then where did they go?"
"It's been so long and I haven't gone back to my house. Where else can they go?"
"Nothing will happen!"
The officials whispered about the whereabouts of Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling.
No one can stay away from home all night.
If something really happened on the road, someone would come to report it early in the morning.
"Jiang Siye, are you sure you sent Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang to the sedan in person yesterday?" Changsun Wuji frowned even more tightly.
Since they were sent to the sedan chair, why did the person disappear after one night?
"Reporting to the eldest grandson, Shangshu, the official sent someone to the sedan chair yesterday. Then the official was happy, so he went back to the Wangyou Restaurant to get two jugs of good wine, and he fell asleep while drinking." Jiang Siye said.
With a look of horror on his face, he quickly explained to Changsun Wuji.
"You're lying. You and Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang don't usually go out together. How could they agree to your banquet at Wangyou Restaurant?"
"You clearly used the excuse of inviting Prime Minister Wei and Fang Prime Minister to kidnap the two of them." Prince Li Xiaogong of Hejian County suddenly gave a cold shout, which startled Jiang Siye.
The other officials also looked at Jiang Siye angrily.
If something happened to Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, he, the person who invited them to the banquet, would undoubtedly be the most suspect.
"That's not the case, King Hejian. I really just want to invite Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang to have a meal."
"I also hope they can help send more manpower to find the Master Jijiu of our Imperial College."
"They have disappeared, and my subordinates are worried." Jiang Siye quickly defended himself.
Looking at Li Xiaogong in front of him, Jiang Siye was filled with fear.
He was really afraid that Li Xiaogong would accuse him of such a crime and then directly kill him.
"Worrying too much? This king will not believe such a trick of yours."
"Come here, put this person in a prison before you find Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang."
"If something happens to the Prime Minister and Prime Minister Wei, I will be the first to kill him!" Li Xiaogong and the guards of Taiji Palace shouted.
"King of Hejian, please spare your life, King of Hejian Mingjian, I really don't have this official..." Jiang Siye and Li Xiaogong begged loudly for mercy.
Li Xiaogong didn't even frown.
The guards were about to take Jiang Siye down, but they were stopped by Changsun Wuji: "His Royal Highness the King of Han once said in the past that when treating prisoners, it is important to avoid suspicion."
"That is to say, we cannot convict anyone without any absolute evidence, otherwise it may be an unjust case."
"So I feel that putting Jiang Siye in jail is absolutely undesirable."
"It is better to let Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment inquire about the details of yesterday. Jiang Siye should not leave Chang'an City in the past two days."
He wondered in his heart, could it be that the man in robes who had been in contact with him was Changsun Wuji in front of him.
Thinking about Changsun Wuji's status, and thinking about how Changsun Wuji had been humiliated by the emperor and Zhao Chen before, Jiang Siye suddenly realized something.
"Changsun Shangshu, he is probably..."
"King Hejian, don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter." Changsun Wuji once again interrupted King Hejian who wanted to kill Jiang Siye.
Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, frowned, glanced at Jiang Siye, and left angrily.
It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji's behavior.
All officials also looked at Changsun Wuji. Many people felt that Changsun Wuji's behavior today was a bit strange.
He was obviously the most suspicious person, yet Changsun Wuji actually wanted to protect him by force.
Could it be that Changsun Wuji was also related to the disappearance of Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling? This chapter has been completed!
